Granted: 1910-08-31
Abstract: 19,950. Horti, L., and Villagossy, J. Aug. 31. Tell-tale apparatus.-Relates to targets in which the impact of the bullet closes a circuit through an indicator at the firing point, and consists essentially in arranging wires at the back of a flexible target and on the indicator horizontally and vertically with a slight distance between the crossing-points. When the target A is struck, a vertical wire is pressed against an horizontal wire, and a small charge of gunpowder is ignited by a spark at the corresponding crossing point of the wires of the indicator. A bull's eye hit may be indicated by an electric bell, and electric lamps or other optical or audible signals may be used.

Abstract: 748. Heimann, A., and Schõffer, W. Jan. 13, 1909, [Convention date]. Lighting systems. -In an arrangement for running arc and incandescent lamps in series, the connexion between the arc and incandescent lamps is connected to a point in an autotransformer arranged in parallel with the lamps. An auto - transformer and a circuit containing arc lamps 6 and incandescent lamps 5 are arranged in parallel between the points 3, 4 of distributing- leads 1, 2. The connexion 8 between the arc and incandescent lamps is connected to a point 7 in the transformer by a lead 9. Under normal working, no current flows in the lead 9, but, when variations occur in the circuit containing the arc lamps, current flows in one direction or the other through the lead 9, thereby keeping the current through the incandescent lamps 5 practically constant.. An iron resistance 10 may be placed in the incandescent lamp circuit.

Abstract: 14,428. Fernandez, J. V. June 17. Cigar and cigarette holders.-In a cigar or cigarette holder of the kind which is provided with a filter chamber and with means for piercing the end and for ejecting the butt of the cigar or cigarette, the holder portions 2 and the mouthpiece 1, Fig. 1, are joined by a ferrule 4 bearing on annular packings 5, 6 and are spaced by flanges 13, 14, against which suitably perforated disks rest, a suitable filtering-element being provided in the chamber so formed. The ejecting- means consist of a perforated piston 20 operated by a spring 24 and carried on the rod 19, which slides through the bore and disk apertures and holds the piston in inoperative position by a catch 18 on one end of the U-shaped member 17, which is passed through a hole in the rod 19 and is adapted to take over the edge of the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a cylindrical lining 16 which may have a flange at its inner end against which the U-shaped member 17 may rest. The perforator 23 is secured by soldering or the like to the disk 8 and is surrounded by the spring 24. The two. prongs of the perforator have slots 32, 33 and project through holes in the piston 20. The piston may be returned to its inoperative position after use by means of a case 28 with an inner cylindrical part 29 adapted to enter the holder portion and force the piston back till the catch 18 springs over the edge of the mouthpiece. A cover 31 with a hollow 34 to receive the catch 18 is also provided.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Picking Mechanism for Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: PICKSTONE MONTAGUE TABOR
IPC: D03D49/42
Filed: 1911-06-21
Granted: 1912-09-23
Abstract: 14,758. Pickstone, M. T. June 21. Picking -motions; pickers; shuttles; shuttle boxes; checking shuttles; shuttle-races; reeds.-In a loom provided with pneumatic picking - apparatus, the propulsion, shed - traverse, and checking of the shuttle together extend throughout, or approximately throughout, a complete revolution of the crank-shaft, the propulsion and checking of the shuttle occupying a long period compared with the shedtraverse. The tubular shuttle boxes A, Fig. 1, are materially longer than the shuttle and are provided at their ends with tubes a<3>, through which air under pressure is supplied at the desired times through a valve D<5>, the pressure of the air gradually increasing during the propulsion of the shuttle thereby. The air may act directly upon the shuttle, or through suitably-arranged pads or pistons. The invention is described as applied to the double vertical loom described in Specification 4507/09, and the valve D<5> is controlled by a notched disk acted upon by a tappet arm on one of the loom shafts to be moved either at the moment of beat-up or when the shed is fully opened according to whether it is desired to allow the air trapped in a shuttle box by the incoming shuttle to escape to the atmosphere or to the top of the aircompressing cylinder D. The shuttle consists of a two-part shell B<1>, B<2>, Fig. 2, with a thread eye B<5> at one end, the emerging thread passing along a groove in the side to an eye or hook on a metal band B<3>, which secures the parts B<1>, B<2> together. The shuttle has flattened portions B<11>, B<13>, Fig. 7, on the sides co-operating with similar flattened portions on the correspondingly-shaped shuttle boxes and with vertical sides C<1> on the reed C to prevent rotation of the shuttle, the reed serving as the shuttlerace. The top and bottom of the shuttle are also Rattened and the shuttle may fit the shuttle boxes closely or loosely, some of the air trapped by an incoming shuttle escaping past it in the latter case. If the shuttle reaches the end of the box, it is stopped by a buffer device comprising a flanged tube a<5>, Fig. 1, sliding within a part a<4> of the box end, the space a<10> being filled with horse-hair, felt, or wool, and leather, felt, or like rings a<7> being secured to the flange a<6>. The air-compressing piston D<1> is actuated by the pressure of oil on an attached piston d working in a tube K<1> communicating with a cylinder J, in which pressure is put on the oil by a plunger H actuated by an eccentric G on the loom shaft F. The cylinder J forms part of an oil-containing casing P, and has a part J' of an internal diameter larger than that of the plunger, so that, when the upper edge H' of the plunger H enters the part J<1>, the oil pressure is relieved, and, when the piston D' strikes a felt or leather buffer D<Î> at the end of its stroke, it is free to rebound and move downwards.
